What People Are Saying

NANCY BREEN

This was the first time I did a private charter instead of a group sail on a larger boat. I do not think I will ever go back to buying tickets for a group sail.

RONALD WATANABE

We had such a wonderful time on this 2-hour sail with Captain Dave! It was the highlight of our trip to Newport! We highly recommend it!

PETE & JESS

Absolutely the best experience. Dave was hands down the most amazing captain and made the entire experience so memorable. Do yourself a favor and book a ride with McCurdy's.

Recent reviews in newport.

I loved my experience going on a boat trip with Kenneth! He’s very professional but also easy going and fun to be around! He was very accommodating with my requests (I’m a photographer and rented the boat for a couple session). I’d 100% recommend his service and I’m already looking forward for a next trip!

September, 2022

Kenny and Perrin were fantastic with communication throughout the process of booking and getting us out for a sunset cruise! Our family had a great time with Perrin and he is very knowledgeable about the area and has tons of experience. We felt right at home on Mariah! We will definitely be back. Great boat, great captain, and a great experience all around. Highly recommend. Seth

August, 2022

Perrin was amazing! The whole process was such a breeze and we had a great couple of hours out on the water. Really knowledgeable (and we tested him haha) and had great insight about the area and the other boats around us. Would definitely recommend!

Charlie and his wife were fantastic. Very professional, very knowledgeable and incredibly warm and inviting. They were especially awesome with our two little girls, with lots of extras for the girls to enjoy. The boat was great. Spacious and even bigger with more seating than in pictures. Would 100% book with them again!

August, 2021

Captain Charles is THE BEST!! My husband, 3 children and I booked this and it was hands down the highlight of vacation for each one of us. Captain Charles (or Uncle CC as my oldest has now named him) went above and beyond to make sure the kids had fun, felt comfortable and we’re safe. He had numerous life jacket to choose from and let them jump off the boat AND had a huge raft he tied out there for the kids. We had no idea about this and the kids cannot stop talking about it. We all loved touring through the harbor and hearing so many interesting bits from Charles about places, boats and homes we were seeing. It was fascinating. Captain Charles could not have been nicer to work with and meet. His communication was top notch from days before our ride together. Once on the boat, he has a natural way of making you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our time with Captain Charles on his boat, which was beautiful and the cleanest boat.

Family of four had a fantastic time boating with Captain Charles! Harbor tour was fun and informative and dropping anchor in Mackerel Cove to swim and have lunch was perfect! Boat was roomy, very clean and had shade and sun so everyone was happy! Best day ever… we all highly recommend!

We have three sailboats, Aquidneck, Sightsailer, and Starlight, all of which may be chartered for private sails. Starlight sails with a maximum of 6 guests, Sightsailer sails with a maximum of 13 and Aquidneck can take up to 49 people sailing!

In order to book a charter, determine the number of people in your party and choose the boat whose capacity closely matches your number of guests.

Please note that boat capacity numbers are determined by the Coast Guard and cannot be exceeded under any circumstance.  The Coast Guard considers every human being on the boat to be a person regardless of age, so a two-year-old counts the same as an adult in the total guest count.

Next, determine the desired date and choose one of the boat’s scheduled departure times for your sail.

You may see each boat’s scheduled sailing departures in the Schedules & Rates section. To book a private charter you need to choose one of the boat’s scheduled departures.

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.
